About Me

i have loved music all my life. my dad was the first to teach me guitar, and at the time i was more concerned about surviving middle school than picking up a new skill. soon enough, i found guitar and songwriting to be something i couldn't live without. my music may be the product of flunked relationships and the like, but more importantly, i write and sing as a tribute to everyone who's invested in me musically and otherwise. my influences are both 'professional' musicians that i may never meet and music-driven friends who have perpetually encouraged and inspired me with their own craftsmanship to keep writing.as an artist, i am mostly looking for ways to grow as a songwriter though meeting likeminded musicians, recording, and opportunities to play. [it's about time i updated this bio] newsflash: i'm through with school!! so things are a bit different for me right now...all in all, i trust that God will take me where He wants me to be as a musician. i have never been lacking for anything in Him - - every single show i play these days, i think 'well, this will be a good last hurrah'...except that more and more hurrahs keep coming my way in the most unexpected of ways. i love it!i hope you enjoy what you find here, and keep an eye out for more to come.

Sounds Like: because i don’t know where this will go - into any recess of my mind - i’d think that i mastered this thing but what have i to say? complacent maybe, for the most part - content, but not with this. no – believe me when i say i am not constructed of broken phrases but of an exhalation of verbs swung out of the matrix that i wrestle every time i sit to write - if this was easy…. if this was not fragile, expensive, and homespun - pop stars would become the master race - we would all save face in the most brilliant clichés - for all the satellite souls to hear and be pleased - programmed hearts smile - personally - i’d start walking until i tread into a frontier - untranslated - if garble gushes from my footprints - i’d not complain.
